16	Weisi Guo (Engineering & Alan Turing Inst.) (Engineering)	Vincenzo Bove (Politics) (Other)	Dynamics of arms-trade complex networks and its influence on armed conflict	Yes	I have continuous funding from DSTL (UK government) on conflict prediction and modelling. I currently run 2 projects with additional funding (we have to see what 30% actually is!), and I expect to get continuation of these funds as Phase 2 projects in 2019/20 onwards. If I know what 30% is, I can try and cost that in.
17	Humayun Bakht (Warwick Business School)		Cyber Attacks Incident Response Mechanism	Yes	Yes
18	James Sprittles (Mathematics)	Mykyta Chubynsky (Mathematics)	Mathematical Modelling of 3D Printing Processes	Yes	This project will form part of a flagship £5.8M Programme Grant developing the next generation of additive manufacturing techniques. The project involves three universities and a number of partners (e.g. AstraZeneca, Oce, Pfizer) who could provide future sources of co-funding. Details of the Programme are here: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/cfam/major-epsrc-funding/next-gen-am/next-gen-am.aspx
18	Juergen Branke (Warwick Business School)	(----)	Bayesian Optimisation for Bilevel Problems	Yes	Unfortunately no funding opportunity identified yet.
19	Juergen Branke (Warwick Business School)	(----)	Bayesian Optimisation for robust solutions	Yes	Possibly through ESTECO, although I haven't talked to them about this yet and I am not sure how they would feel about funding a second student.
20	Juergen Branke (Warwick Business School)	(----)	Bayesian Optimisation for Sequential Clinical Trials	Yes	I currently don't see an option for co-funding for this project.
21	Juergen Branke (Warwick Business School)	(----)	Sequential experimental design for drug development	Yes	Had some discussions with Lonza about this, and co-funding should not be a problem if we can convince them over the summer that the approach has merit.	Had to be withdrawn!
22	Juergen Branke (Warwick Business School)	Simon Lucas (Other)	Tuning of Game Agent Algorithms	Yes	I am currently working with DSTL on a related project, and they have signalled that they might be willing to co-fund a PhD student. Specifics would have to be worked out, though.
23	Mark P. Barrow (Chemistry)	(----)	Challenges Posed by Ultrahigh Resolution Complex Mixture Data	Yes	Possible interest from industry (scientific instrument manufacturers).
24	Subhash Lakshminarayana (Engineering)	Weisi Guo (Engineering)	Understanding the Resilience of Cyber-Physical Systems Using Complex Networks Theory	Yes

30	Dr Gregory J Gibbons (Warwick Manufacturing Group)	Mark Williams (Warwick Manufacturing Group)	Path Planning Optimisation Utilising CNN and ANN for Direct Energy Deposition 3D Printing of Alloys with Low Residual Stress	Yes	There are a number of industrial end-users of this technology that we would approach for funding. There are also a number of OEM system providers who we could also approach as it would offer a technical advantage for their technology over their competitors. We would need to evaluate the results of the 10 week MSc project to determine the efficacy of the approach being appropriate for commercial opportunity, and we would use the results to demonstrate the initial capability and benefits to the potential funders. It would be too early at this stage with no evidence of efficacy to approach potential funders.
31	Dr. Gabriele C. Sosso (Chemistry)		Predicting the Stability of Amorphous Drugs via Materials Science-inspired Machine Learning	Yes	AstraZeneca. This project is of obvious relevance to the “Advanced modelling and optimisation of industrial processes” application area of the MathSys-CDT application. The progress of the project will be closely followed by Dr. Anders Broo, (industry co-supervisor, AstraZeneca) and has the potential to make a concrete impact on the current machine learning paradigms for drug discovery and design.
32	Bazil Sansom (Mathematics)	Robert MacKay (Mathematics)	Network Science and Dynamical Systems Based Analysis of Firm Level Global Production Networks.	Yes	This work could be developed in various directions for doctoral research with the possibility of supervision by Robert MacKay. However no specific line of funding is currently secured for this.
33	Mark Elliott (Warwick Manufacturing Group)	(----)	Modelling step-count activity data and investigating the impact of financial incentives on physical activity behaviour change	Yes	Possible funding from the SME associated with the app, but unclear currently as to how much contribution that would be.
34	Alfonso Jaramillo (School of Life Sciences)	(----)	Bacteria mastering game playing through reinforcement learning	Yes	We will look for appropriate co-funding options
35	Sebastian Vollmer (MathSys External Partner)	(----)	Data Science for Social Good: designing data-driven responses to homelessness	Yes	No
36	Hakan Ferhatosmanoglu (Computer Science)	(----)	Data Science for Social Good: Exploring links between transportation provision and loneliness	Yes	Probably not
37	Mark Elliott (Warwick Manufacturing Group)	(----)	Thermal Imaging for Peripheral Arterial Disease diagnosis	Yes	The project partners are NHS Trusts, some funding may be possible, but likely to be limited.
